Feminine tattoos are generally smaller and far prettier than those for men. Whereas male tattoos often include animals, logos, and other intimidating symbols tattoos for women feature flowers, butterflies, fairies, and similar concepts that represent delicacy and beauty. Tattoos for women feature thinner lines with more delicate coloring. They are not as aggressive in appearance as male tattoos. However, even this trend is undergoing a change because the increasing popularity of female tattoos has resulted in some women going in for heavy tattoos of the sort preferred by men.

 Tattoo artists are now reporting that their largest clientele is made of women. They also state that women are better than men when it comes to the application of tattoos. For women, the design of tattoos is as important as the placement. Women spend far too much time comparing and selecting designs based on the body part where they intend to apply it. Though women are increasingly going in for heavier design elements their focus still remains on the sophisticated and the beautiful.

Two areas are generally preferred by women and these are the lower back and the tail bone areas. The lower back area is quite tantalizing and a sensitive spot for a woman to have a tattoo on. It is visible only in glimpses and like all things that are doled out in rare flashes this increases its appeal. Most of the designs for the lower back area tend to follow a V shape in order to accentuate the figure of the female form. Some of the most commonly used designs for this area include butterflies, angels, lions, hearts, insect wings, serpents, and several sorts of flowers. Nearly all designs are elaborated with wings or tendrils for a more balanced look. The lotus flower is supposed to represent the past, present, and the future. Flowers and animals are representative of femininity and fertility. Serpents and dragons are hints of trouble. The eagle represents courage and determination.

Another preferred area is the foot or ankle. These tattoos represent purity and simplicity. Professional and career minded women usually prefer foot or ankle tattoos because they are highly personal and not overbearing in any way.

The popularity of tattoos has never been higher with many well-known celebrities continuing to set the trend by getting cool tattoos done. However most people do not fully understand the risks involved when you decide to get a tattoo done.

One of the main risks people are aware of is the risk of getting an infection when the tattoo is being made. Signs of an infection are redness and swelling around the area of the tattoo. To avoid this you should go to a fully licensed and professional tattoo parlor, and always make sure they use sterilized tattoo equipment and needles. You would think that every tattoo artist uses sterile equipment, but sadly it’s not always the case.

The very fact that there are tattoo artists out there who don’t use fully sterilized equipment means there is still the risk of a more serious blood-borne disease being transmitted. So it is possible that you could pick up a disease such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV in extreme cases.

Another related risk is that of skin disorders or granulomas. These occur when the body rejects foreign objects being inserted into the outer skin, such as tattoo ink. As a result of which, little bumps will often appear around the area where the ink has been applied.

The recipient of the tattoo may also suffer an allergic reaction when having a tattoo done. This is extremely rare but can occur in some instances. There’s no way of knowing if you will suffer from an allergic reaction to tattoo ink until you actually get a tattoo done.

Finally there is always the risk that you will not be happy with the tattoo you have chosen in later years. If this turns out to be the case and you consider having your tattoo removed, then this brings additional health risks. Even with modern laser technology it can still be a complicated process and there is no guarantee that the procedure may be a complete success. In fact very often several treatments are required in order to successfully remove the tattoo, and even then you may be left with skin discoloration or scarring.

Overall though these risks mentioned above are very rare and most people who get a tattoo done encounter no problems at all and end up very happy with their chosen design. As long as you choose a professional licensed tattoo artist and take plenty of time to choose the perfect tattoo design, then the benefits of getting your chosen tattoo done very often outweigh the risks.
